Life : Missed my bus
Hey Assalamualaikum
What a day, what a day? Well from the title, obviously i missed my bus. It's a big thing to me, well it used to be, now I'm much more calmer and that's what i want to talk about.
Maturity, acceptance, and faith
The person i was in the past, I'm a big mess, especially when it concerns time, i really don't like being late, I'm almost always early to everything, and i don't like people waiting for me, and i just reallly really cannot understand people who are constantly late. And i was so caught up in the concept of time, that i missed the bigger picture of basically everything. I used to always blame people for making me caught up with being late and point out people being late, making sure they feel quite guilty.
For example, if i was late to something because i was waiting for someone, or someone sent me late or last minute adjustments, i would get so so so upset. Basically i was too uptight, and like i said, i missed the bigger picture.
But now, when things like this happen, instead of being upset, which sometimes i am for a bit. Id just take a step back, breathe and let it sink in, that it has already happened, it's allready written in fate. Sow what can i do? Learn from it, either deciding not to wait for people anymore, or remind people to send me earlier, learn to speak up my principles regarding time with good manners ensuring people understand that i am just comfortable being on time and what not. Generally finding ways, to improve myself, my attitude and my quality of life by shooing away negativity. What i mean is, instead of being bitter and blaming people, see what you can do to prevent such events from occurring again. So that's the bigger picture, the lessons.
Being able to accept what has happened and having faith that there is always a good reason for things to happen is being mature.
But on a side note, being late especially when it involves wasting other people's time, is something that should be improved. We always say, membazir amalan syaitan right? Isn't wasting your time and someone else's time considered wasting too?
Nobody's perfect i know, but i know too, that everyone including myself should strive to be a better person everyday.
Here's to a better us, cheerio !
